Hey guys, I posted another thread on this but it isn't getting much attention.. I bought my first rebuildable a few days ago, a Nimbus clone for $25. I've been re-building coils for my Protanks for months now, standard and microcoils, so I have a good feel for rebuilding.
I've only tried the stock coil that came with my Nimbus so far though.. The problem is, the top cap is wayy too loose and just falls right off too easily. If I even tilt my eVic to the side slightly (which I do everytime I vape), the cap falls away from the o-ring seal on one side. If I hold the Nimbus from the bottom 510-connection, and turn it upside down, the cap falls right off.
This also makes the vape incredibly airy, I have to hold the cap down while I vape, and usually also plug 1 of the airholes.
...... I was told that this dripper should not be airy at all, and that if anything, I'd want to drill out the air holes
So I took it back into the vape shop I got it from the day after (40minute drive from me), and they said if they couldn't find o-rings that would seal the cap/tank correctly, that they would just replace it for me. So he switched out the o-rings, and that helped a little bit. I thought it was good, so I went home without trying to vape it.
After the employee switched the o-rings - it is a tighter seal, cap doesn't just fall off if I turn it upside down, but it's still a little loose. I still have to push down on the cap while vaping to keep it sealed, and plug an airhole.
So it shouldn't be like this, right?? The employee said it should be kind of loose, but I don't think it should be this loose.. I just want to rebuild it and vape on my 1st dripper! I'll probably drive back tomorrow (another 40minutes) and try to exchange it. The employees were very nice & helpful and told me to let them know if I have any more issues, I feel bad because I bought it with a gift card lol.
What do you guys think? Thanks!!
